    It's not impossible but unlikely, EA shut down the studio behind Command and Conquer some time ago and recent games in the series have not been good - C&C 4 was poorly received largely due to the huge change in gameplay from previous games (primarily no base building) and the sequel to Generals has ended up as some odd free to play game. The studio that was meant to continue the RTS games has also been shut down so I don't have much faith that even if they do release any further Command and Conquer games that they'll be any good.

    All of which is pretty depressing as the original Command and Conquer was the first PC game I bought after playing a demo of it to death and I've spent many hours on the series since then.

    It's not something I've looked into for a while but it's probably possible though the PC version with the appropriate network utilities.

    I wonder if there are any mods for C&C Generals / Red Alert 2 that would change it to be more realistic war rather than futuristic.

    It may be possible to run it on a PSP through an emulator but I can't see why you'd want to, console controls don't work well with RTS games and it's far easier to get running on a PC as well as being able to play online.

    Generals is already set in current time and based on existing technology (with a bit of extrapolation), it was the Tiberium games which were set increasingly further into the future while the Red Alert games were in an alternate setting. There's no mainstream realism mod I'm aware for the Tiberium/Red Alert games but it's not something I've been following for a long time.
